Chabrier's extraordinary, if incomplete, opera Briséïs is surely a precursor to Salome and approaches even that most lurid work in the gloriously opulent sensuality of its music. Performed at the Edinburgh Festival by some of the greatest singers of the day and recorded live by Hyperion, this thrilling performance stunned critics and public alike. Under the baton of Jean-Yves Ossonce, Joan Rodgers and Mark Padmore lead the brilliant cast, supported by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the Scottish Opera Chorus. A genuinely wonderful discovery, now available at mid-price.
